Organizing Support to Protect & Expand School Social Work Jobs

Presenters:  Michelle Alvarez, MSW, EdD; Stephen A. Karp, LMSW; Dina L. Kastner, MSS, MLSP; Brenda Coble Lindsey, Ed.D, MSW, LCSW

The roles and functions of school social workers are unique within school systems. While school social workers collaborate with other Specialized Instructional Support Personnel (SISP), there are numerous functions that school social workers perform that others cannot. Unfortunately, many school systems do not recognize the full value of school social work services and wrongfully may think that related professions can fill the roles of the school social worker. This webinar will address this issue by presenting proven strategies from the field that have protected existing school social work positions and have expanded positions within school systems. Case examples will be used to illustrate how school social workers can organize support both within and outside of the school system to protect and expand jobs. The presentation will include empowering students and families as allies, gaining community support, lobbying school boards and other public officials, and building coalition with your state NASW chapter. School social workers are wonderful advocates for students and their families. This webinar will help you build similar advocacy skills for yourself,

Self-Care, the Wounded Healer, Resiliency, and Post-traumatic Growth

Presenter:  Dottie Saxon Greene, PhD., MSW, LCSW, LCAS, CCS

CE Category: 1 Social Work Contact hour

After briefly reviewing the rationale for social worker self-care (burnout, secondary trauma, compassion fatigue), the facilitator moves beyond this common knowledge to an exploration of self-care through the lens of the Wounded Healer. Because the study of burnout has often been said to have “burned out,” the facilitator focuses on self-care through the eyes of the Wounded Healer and examines how the experience of woundedness supports resiliency and post-traumatic growth.

Displaced Children of Disasters

Presenters:  Mary Rita Weller, Ph.D, LSW and Varsha Pandya, Ph.D., ACSW, LSW

This webinar addresses the provision of services and support by social workers for displaced children of disasters. The focus is on displaced children that have special needs and/or circumstances such as having disabilities, unique family situations such as kinship care, financial hardships, and other pre-existing vulnerabilities. Disasters may include natural, such extreme weather conditions that cause evacuations and/or devastations that include loss of property and human life; or man-made, such as industrial accidents, and violent conflicts. 

Some of the content covered includes the analysis of providing social work support to displaced children that have pre-existing special needs and situations in that they are already more vulnerable and require other supports in order to make their temporary living transitions run more smoothly. Social workers are uniquely in a position to further insure that displaced children receive the necessary supports that may include protection from predators, trauma-based counseling, shelters to meet their specific needs, education, and pediatric health services that also include behavior health support as well as participation in resettlement efforts.
